Findings Comments
The inlet of the harvest
valve is cool enough to
touch and the
compressor discharge
line is hot.
Cool & Hot
This is normal as the discharge
line should always be too hot to
touch and the harvest valve
inlet, although too hot to touch
during harvest, should be cool
enough to touch after 5 minutes
into the freeze cycle.
The inlet of the harvest
valve is hot and
approaches the
temperature of a hot
compressor discharge
line.
Hot & Hot
This is an indication something
is wrong, as the harvest valve
inlet did not cool down during
the freeze cycle. If the
compressor dome is also
entirely hot, the problem is not a
harvest valve leaking, but rather
something causing the
compressor (and the entire ice
machine) to get hot.
Both the inlet of the
harvest valve and the
compressor discharge
line are cool enough to
touch.
Cool & Cool
This is an indication something
is wrong, causing the
compressor discharge line to be
cool to the touch. This is not
caused by a harvest valve
leaking.
